To err there is Tapasya, to forgive there is Ichchya? – Uttaran on Colors
On January 22, 2010 in Colors, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Saas-Bahu, TV, Uttaran
As Ichchya lay on the hospital bed fighting a battle with death, Tapasya stood on the sideline, not praying for her recovery but praying to the Gods to spare her punishment. While her father hovered around his beloved adopted child, refusing to give up his tireless vigil, she prayed fervently for her friend’s death. However destiny decided to be fair and granted Ichchya the right to live. While all those around her are celebrating this miracle, Tapasya is in a fix. Her ex-lover, Sid, whom she had convinced to pull the trigger on Ichchya has been apprehended. Her father Thakur Sahab is determined to get the truth out of him as are the authorities. It is only a matter of time before Sid spills the bean on her and diabolical plan.
Caught between the fire and the frying pan (if Ichchya lives her husband will slip away from her, if she dies it could mean prison) Tapasya is praying hard and fast to the Gods to spare her this one last mistake. Like a petulant child she promises never to repeat the mistake again. She is so caught up in her own selfish world that she is unable to see the evil enormity of her own actions. Tapasya’ repentance is as shallow as that of a child caught cheating during exams. She is totally self absorbed and will stoop to any level to gain sympathy. Her father sees her standing in front of an Idol with folded hands and tears in her eyes. He misunderstands her actions and believes that she is praying to God to spare her friend’s life. When in reality she had been praying so as to protect her own skin. He thaws his hard attitude towards her and speaks kind words to her after many days.
The battle between Tapasya and Ichcha – Uttaran on Colors
On January 19, 2010 in Character, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, TV, Uttaran
Ichchya is truly destiny’s child. Right from the time that she was adopted by the Thakur family as their de-facto ‘other’ daughter, she has been the source of tremendous jealousy and intrigue. Her once upon a best friend Tapasya and the evil Naani have made it their mission to make her life as miserable as humanly possible. Tapasya and Naani even plotted together and against her to ruin her perfect wedding. In all the drama that followed, Ichchya willingly gave up her position as Veer’s to-be-wife for her friend. She has always sought to find the good in Tapasya even when the latter has gone out of her way to belittle her.
Tapasya on the other hand has never ever really appreciated her one true friend. Even when this friend of hers (Ichchya) made the supreme sacrifice of giving up her love for this spoilt individual, she took it as an act of servitude. For Tapasya, Ichchya, the servant’s daughter has only one role to fulfil, that of bowing to her every demand. She even mocked and taunted her (reluctant) husband that while she Tapasya, had the dare to forcefully make him hers; Veer and Ichcya caught in the trap of being “good” people had failed to fight for their love. Such is the audacity of wealth and position.
Uttaran – the Thakur goes down, and is now in hospital
On December 06, 2009 in Colors, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, TV, Uttaran
Things are really going haywire in the serial Uttaran. After the shock that Tapasya delivered by forcing a switch so that she could get married to Veer, he never got over the shock, to the extent that he decided that he no longer acknowledged Tapasya to be his child, and now only claims that Ichcha was his daughter. However, Damini was able to see that the love for Tapasya was still there with Divya, and she wanted to ensure that Ichcha now stayed out of Veer’s life, and she really did not acknowledge that Tapasya made a mistake. In addition, Ichcha herself did not really want to accept that Tapasya had done anything wrong.
With all this, Damini decided that this was the time for her to leave Jogi Thakur’s house along with Ichcha, something that shocked both Jogi Thakur and Divya. Nani of course never liked Ichcha and Damini (considering them as servants), and hence was happy that they were leaving. Jogi Thakur however took this as a shock, and had a heart attack just when Ichcha was leaving. At the same time, there was the addition of a new member in Veer’s house, his father’s younger brother who was back from prison and of whom nobody really wants to talk about.
Tapasya is trying to fit into the house, but she has problems with doing some of the duties that a bride must do, such as some amount of cooking, given that she has not been used to doing such things and considers them not worthy of doing.
